of traffic in a safe manner. Both flagmen shall be in sight of each other. If conditions do
not permit this, then a third man shall be positioned where he can see and be seen by the
other two men in order to signal them to start or stop traffic. If required take permission
from the authorities and close the road from both sides & arrange a diverted road for
vehicle movement (keep signboard with arrow mark for diversion).
